Become a citizen scientist

Citizen science is all about people like you getting involved in research by collecting information, making discoveries and exploring the natural world alongside scientists and researchers.

Anyone can be a citizen scientist! You don't need qualifications or special equipment, just a curious mind and an interest in learning more about the environment around you.

Your observations and contributions can help researchers build knowledge, better understand our local environment and find ways to protect it.

Explore the range of free citizen science projects and programs supported by the City of Onkaparinga and discover how you can get out, get involved and make a difference. And while you're at it, pop into the Libraries and check out their citizen science corners!
